Copyright & DMCA Compliance

1. Intellectual Property Mandate

WhereSports Registry respects the proprietary rights of professional sports leagues, television networks, digital rights managers, and official streaming organizations. In strict accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512, and equivalent international copyright treaties, we maintain proactive compliance methodologies. Our platform operates strictly as a legal listing directory indexing authorized distribution resources.

2. No Content Hosting or Streaming

WhereSports Registry **does not host, store, upload, cache, broadcast, or transmit** any live audio feeds, television streams, video files, or proprietary media on our servers. Our services consist solely of compiling legal guides, schedule indexes, and search registries. We assist digital sports fans in navigating to licensed broadcaster outlets (e.g. ESPN, Sky Sports, Sling TV, Peacock, Paramount+).

3. Standard DMCA Takedown Filing Requirements

To expedite review, please submit a written notification containing the following criteria:
